For the most part I loved this book, but there are parts here and there that I was disappointed with. I was hoping there was going to be more to the backstory in Godric's Hollow. I thought JKR said there was supposed to be another person there?? Certain parts were so slow moving it took forever to get the next horcux, figure out how to destroy it and obtain the sword. Than they find Horcuxes in a very short amount of time and it ends too quickly. I think I'd have liked it more if their adventure was more drawn out rather than dragging on. On a positive note, it did make it seem more realistic that it took forever for them to obtain the information they needed without it too easily being spoon fed right and left.

The ending...it felt wayyy too rushed. One minute they're in Hogsmeade trying to figure out a way into Hogwarts to find the next Horcux, the next they're in war and it ends. All in a very small section of the book while the camping parts took up way too much. I guess I was expecting about half or 1/3 of the book of them in battle...or hoping. Overall it's still my favorite out of all 7.

From the beginning I was a little sceptical as to what they where going to do next with the characters> I was pretty disappointed at how many characters JK Rowling killed off. Most of them didn't need to be killed. Why where they in the forest so many times and for so long? No point in that. I was surprised that Draco's mom would tell Voldemort that harry was dead when he was not. That was lame. For the most part I was please but it was confusaing in some areas. RIP Hedwig, Lupin, Tonks, Snape, Dobby, Fred's ear, George, and all others who died throughout the series.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows left a good impression on me. Although I felt that Rowling rushed it a bit nearing the end, like the rest in the series, it was a page turner and I couldn't guess what was to come next. My favorite part was the revelation of Severus Snape. The fact that he was a "double spy" never occurred as an option in my mind. It was mind blowing. I even teared up a little when he died. I also loved how JK Rowling included all of the characters from the past books such as the Grey Wolf and Duby! Like I sad before, the end was rushed. Everything was happening too fast, and I was left a little confused. But I can understand because it was already so long, and it was her last book. The naming of the children was also very odd. What was it? Albus Severus Potter? Poor child! I have very high expectations for the movie :D

I do agree with you on the camping bit, it was way too long and felt more like Rowling couldn't come up with any more ideas and so filled in time with a boring camping trip with ron and hermione squabbling as usual until she could get the plot rolling again. The Revelation about Snape was expected, Rowling has a habit of "tricking" you. The people you suspect the most are very rarely the villains, and the people you suspect the least usually are, and she loves unlikely hero's. These plot tricks were impressive the first few times, but once I came to expect them, it was no longer dazzling. This was not my favorite, and I think out of all of them it was the weakest of the series. Still entertaining, but hardly the best.

I love this one. I thought it was a beautiful wrap up to one of the most loved book series of all time. It would be impossible to end a series like Harry Potter in a way that everyone is happy with because no one wants it to end. I loved how little things and events that didn't seem to matter at all in the other six books were vital to the last one. I thought Snape's story was so touching and even though it was pretty predictable that he was good all along, I never really expected him to love Lily the way he did. I know a lot of people hated it, but I also loved the Epilogue because it was just enough to let you know that after all that had happened, life still goes on and I thought the names of Harry's kids were a fitting tribute to he people he loved. I also loved the little blip about Professor Longbottom. That was great. This is my favorite of the series, although I love them all.

george didnt die :S

I found the first part of the book quite disappointing (and a little desperate to draw our attention), with the Harry clones on brooms, the wand-conspiracy stuff and Bill and Fleur's wedding. I did not care for any of this, and all of it proved ineffectual anyway (except for the bit with Harry's wand, I guess).
However, after the raid at the wedding, I was transfixed by a HP book once again. Before beginning it, I honestly expected Hogwarts to be the main setting. It was a gutsy move by Rowling which I believe paid off, especially for the development of the characters. Who would've thought that a chapter about a silver doe and Harry retrieving a horcrux from a lake, almost drowning, and reconciling with Ron (and the snake-Hermione bits of course) could be the best parts of the book?
The so-called 'camping parts' were much better than they had any right to be. It hit home that they were just ordinary teenagers stuck in something way over their heads. The story is spiraled forward by an emotional core that pays off previous developments in the series (Ron's feelings of abandonment etc.), at least until the Deathly Hallows are introduced. This was what drew my attention to overarching story. And honestly, I don't think the 'camping parts' are as long as people make out.
Overall, I wasn't disappointed at all. It wrapped up things very nicely. I even liked the epilogue.

Disappointed? Yes. Very. I got to the end of the book wondering just what the heck she was thinking. The ones who died were incredibly arbitrary, they did not move the story along much at all. So many plotlines left hanging. Leaving Hogwarts for virtually the entire book was a mistake, IMO, as it really had come to be a major character in the series. The whole was premised on one book per year at Hogwarts and then that theme was abandoned. The epilogue was awful. Of course they got married and sent their kids to Hogwarts, of course their kids were just like them, of course Ron and Hermione got hitched, etc etc. What does Harry go on to do after school? He talked of being an Auror. What about his relationship with Draco. Not resolved, abandoned. What about the series long theme of the DADA professor not lasting more than a year once V declared himself? Abandoned. The entire book after V was killed lasted a mere handfull of pages and didn't resolve anything. Why even bring Dumbledore's brother into it at all. He was a tool to get them into Hogwarts and that was it. After such a long and entertaining run, I really feel like she failed in the home stretch.
BTW, what Harry should have done was become the DADA teacher. That would have closed the thematic circle and besides, after all those experiences who would be better qualified?

george lost is ear, fred died...sorry to correct you but i wanted to cry when JKR killed fred off.........he was awsome and i was so sad
